Rediculous!
The Content companies have yet to provide accurate, nor remotely believable, figures on Piracy Rates and their actual losses, if the actually exist … yet they expect others to pick up the expenses when it comes to policing piracy.

I have no complaints about the 3 strikes, and you’re out rule … on the proviso that the MPAA/RIAA, or the respective party lobbying, picks up administration costs of the ISP in regards to policing & canceling customer internet connections, and lost revenue - the ISP should be compensated for the lost income (the remainder of the customer contract value) by the lobbying party.

We might see a change in attitude by the RIAA/MPAA when lost contracts & administration expenses costs them a fortune.
Better yet, they might actually develop a product which convinces people to buy their overpriced, low quality, unoriginal content.

Sigh. The content providers who are SO worried about their content (most of which is utter garbage anyway) need to have words with Valve Software. They have found (using the STEAM platform) that selling at a decent price to a GLOBAL MARKET may involve dropping prices by 50% (or more), but their actual sales increase over 3000%.
